There were no major changes in 1988, which carried over the 1987 facelift with the LX and GT models. The one change the article records is that the T-top roof offered on hatchbacks was dropped partway through the year. The 302 V8 still made 225 horsepower with the E7 cylinder heads that had been taken from the truck line after the swirl port design of 1986 showed performance problems. For context, the base car's price did not pass ten thousand dollars until 1991.
